Don't worry about the $70 - in the long run it won't really matter. It is a great camera. Also, if Amazon drops its price within 30 days, you may ask them to refund your card (price guarantee).
Ooops...you are talking about entire California....I live in the Bay Area San Francisco and I havent seen any ----Buy XXXXX City,XYZ-Mart carry it..I have only seen Ned Bunnell's blog advertising Pentax now has a tie up with the aforesaid stores.....my lunatic mind still fails to understand why Pentax can not send even ONE sample model to at least ONE store in each city...
So much for Pentax marketing and Hoya takeover :-)
